How to Teach Psychics Physics to Your Dog: Errata and References

Errors

No matter how many times you go over the manuscript, some errors are bound to creep into any book-length work. As we become aware of the (hopefully minor) mistakes in How to Teach Physics to Your Dog, we'll post corrections here.

Footnote, Page 71: The Scientific American article on building your own "quantum eraser" is in the May 2007 issue, not the April 2007 issue as reported in the book.

References

No work about modern science can stand completely alone-- everything rests on a foundation of decades of past work in the field. Here are the original scholarly articles associated with the important quantum phenomena discussed in the book.

Chapter 1:

Thomas Young's original paper on the diffraction of light is reprinted in Morris Shamos, ed., Great Experiments in Physics p96-101, Holt Reinhart and Winston, New York, 1959.

Wigner's original remarks about his friend appeared in his article "Remarks on the Mind-Body Question", published in the book The Scientist Speculates, edited by I. J. Good. The article is reprinted in Wigner's own book Symmetries and Reflections.

"Shut up and calculate" comes from a David Mermin column in Physics Today (April 1989, page 4), as he explains in the May 2004 issue (page 10).
